Cleanliness in LAnnn.

Those who come around the world
eastward, writes st. Louis Globe cor
respondent from Nagasaki, find all the
Asiatics from Port Said to the ends of
China and Corea one in the great broth
erhood Of dirt, and sitting meditative!y
and in contented Incidence in the midst
of filth that would depopulatc those
countries by one epidemic, il there was
anything in the theories of sanitary on
gineering, malaria, germs and microbes
that could be applied to Asia, To them
Japan is even more of wonder and de-
light than to those who come to it west
ward from our very practical and prosaic
America. The first boat and boatman
in the harbor is shining example of
cleanliness. His one scant cotton gar
ment may be patched and darned all over,
but it is as clean as daily washing can
make it, and the boatman himself is as
clean as constant scrubbing, soaking IN
hot water and rubbing down with his
illustrated japanese towels can make
him The whole nation is amphiblous,
and although the government has done
away with the public bath houses, where
every one went in together, the con
slant babbling and splashing in tanks
of boiling water has not ceased since
the Arcadian fashion was done away
with The bath houses are the club
houses, the places of public resort
where any one drops in for smoke and
a chat with his neighbor, and there is
no special hour or limit to the indul-
gence. The lowest coolies do as much
bathing as the men of high rank, anG
cleanliness Is not, as in England the
badge and attribute of the better class
cs only. The clean faces, the we'll,
scrubbed boats, the clean and sprinkled
streets, the pretty little houses with
their toy balconies without spot or speck
on their shining floors, are an ecstasy to
the eye after the mud novels, the dirt
floors, the filth, rags and repulsive PEG
pie living just across the Yellow sea.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

There is no disease so dangerous
the want of common sense.
Avoid yourself what you think wrong
in your neighbor.
Don't open your purse too hastily or
wide, nor your mouth either.
No life can be utterly miserable that
is frightened by the laughter and love
of one little child.
There are some men formed with feel
ings so blunt that they can hardly bc

of their lives
He never was so good as he should be.
that doth not strive to he better than he
is; he never will be better than he is,
that doth not fear to be worse than he

Friendship hath the skill and observa-
ton of the best physician, the diligence
and vigilance of the best nurse, and the
tenderness and patience Of the best
mother.

Watered Oysters.

Not every lover of fho oyster knows
that the size and plumpness which are
50 highly priced in the great American
bivalyc, and which are 50 attractive in
specimens on the half-shell or in the
stew as to lead tho average man to pay a
considerable extra price for extra size, are
not entirely natural; and even those who
doknow that the majority Of the oysters
in the market arc artiGcially swollen by
introducing water into the tissues are
not all aware that the process by which
this is done is closely analogous to that
by which the food in our own bodies is
conveyed through the walls Of the

tive apparatus and poured into the

the sound Of the cannon died away over
the water Of Lake Michigan, 'little

covered bronze figure of his grandfather,
and pulled rope which held the cover

dropped down at the base, and the tall
erect figure Of Abraham Lincoln shone
brightly in the sun. A tremendous
shout went mp, and it was joined a mo-

The Dying Year.

lHe DIIuS AChks
love not the time when rough Autumn
discloses
The secrets that Summer held hid in her
breast.
The fragrance that slept midst the leaves of
the roses
Has fioated away DER the blue hills dim
crest:
And the wild breezes sob DER a nest half
shattered
That once was concealed in the creeper-
decked wall;
But the mother bird died. and the young
ones.are scattered
And Ger the grass border the withered
leaves fall
Soft, soft in the morning the dun fog is
creeping,
The bindweed hangs white on her pillow of
thorn;
And the shiv'ring gray willow forever is
weeping
Ger Summer departed, and lovers forlorn.
The wan river glides 'twixt the whitening
rushes,
That sigh in the eve Ger the days that are
dead,
And the last hanging leaf on the chestnut
tree bushes
Where the hot kiss of Autumn burned
angrily red
The whole world is empty; the whole earth
seems dying,
And Silence, with finger laid soft ON her
lip,
(4Vs a.. l..
lows are trying
Their wings, ere they give sullen Winter
the slip.
The lusty, loud robin, all joyful, is sing

snow;

bringing
The thousand bright pictures lie only can
show
All the robin may sing on the bare, brown,
stripped branches
think of the Summer; pine for the sun!
The storm hustles up, and in fury swift
launches
His barbs through the tree-tops; the war
isbegun;
The trees cry aloud, as their last leaves are
falling;
The branches swing low with weird mur-
murs of pain;
And the ghosts of the past to the present are
calling,
And weeping their fate in gray showers of
rain
And !, all alone, waiting, hopelessly wonder,
Did Summer eer reign DER this cold world
of ours?
Did ever walk i'll the garden and plumber
Yon ragged rosebush of its wonderful flow
'CrSl
Or was all hut dream? Is there nothing
but sorrow!
Are Winter and weeping all, all that are
left!
Now Yesterday dies in the grasp of to-mor-
row,
To-day scarcely born Ger it, too, is bereft
All met past the window swift rain-clouds
are drifting;
The Summer is dead, and there's nothing
but Death,
Through whose skinny fingers our life-sands
are sitting;
His breathing strikes chill cen to young
Loves hot breath
There Is nothing on earth. but King Death,
that is certain
For Spring is fable, fair Summer

And the pale hands that draw down our
life's heavy curtain
Are all that are truly the things that they

of coffee, two and a quarter pounds of
sugar, and eight pounds OF flour, in adj

missary building is within stones
throw of the Canadian River. Thither
every Monday morning the hungry In
dams crowd for their weekly supply of
food. Each band of forty-tve elects a
representative, who is given ticket
numbered from one to fourteen. This
representative presents his ticket every
Monday morning, the supply agent
punches one of the numbers and gives
the bearer his coffee, sugar and flour,
and an order for one beef AZ the end
of the quarter, when the fourteen mum
bers arc all punched, another ticket is
issued.
Let us follow the chief after he has
had his ticket punched aud received an

more horrible than ever The other
men Of the band leap on their horses.
They ride to the stock pen the agent
takes the order and turns over to the
chief bull or an OK. The poor brute
leaves the pen dazed-contused; in Il

throat, and drink the warm blood, and
cat the warm raw flesh. They like the
hot blood and flesh, and it Is to secure
this, as much as for the excitement, that
they indulge in this wild chase every
ratiou-day at the Reno agency When
their gluttonous appetite /, satisfied, the
squaws take the remains Of the carcass

bones, while the bucks sleep Of the eff

Williams, who murdered old Captain
WInn and Charles Z. Reid, near Soda
Springs, on Snake river. short time
ago, has boon captured. He tells the
following story: He had been on a
hunting expedition ard on bis return
stopped with these men in their cabin.
While there as guest one of them
Reid-reqa him to examine new
gun he had purchased, Williams. for
such is the homicide's name, had the
gun in his bands looking at and examin-
ing the workmanship, when it accident
ly went off. sending bullet directly
through Reid's head, killing him in
stanly. High words followed between
Winn and Williams, which resulted in
Williams being obliged to kill Winn to
save himself. Winn likewise fell dead.
Williams says further that he was go
ing to Eagle Rock to doliveg himself up
to the authorities. Insomuoh as it was
impossible for him to run off through
the snow without leaving trail behind
him, the gentleman who found the bod
les and TO whom he told this story, left
him at tho cabin while they proceeded
to Soda Springs to inform a justice of
the peace and secure the culprit's as
rest. 1t is thought that w illiams story
is weak makeshift to shield himself
from tho just consequences of so foul q
decd as tho murder OF two men who
were giving him shelter, and the gen,
eral belief is that he is deliberate and
heartless murderer. WInn's skull was
found to be broken in and his body hid
den under bunk in the cabin. No
motive for the infamous doed is known.
but the presumption is that williams
they had money or gold dust,
and to possess it the murder was com.
mitted. Wipn is said to have relatiges
